Hey everyone, I'm new to this site and not very good with computers. I just bought a R4350 graphics card for my PC, which is a HP pavilion s5730y. I'm not sure if the PCI express lane will work with the required X16 lane and if my PC has 300 watt power supply. If someone could help me with these two questions I'd much appreciate it.

Yup thats it, so would this "Cooler Master - Elite Power 350-Watt ATX/EPS CPU Power Supply" (website: http://www.bestbuy.c...ters&cp=1&lp=15) work with my computer? and what about the pci express lane?

As the video card is passively cooled it will generate more heat. You should keep your eye on the tamps. If possible install a second case fan. If not possible look for an exhaust fan that will expel a greater volume of air from the case.
